Agents had been employed by the Pt»stmasiei' Ciencr- al to examine the OlVices on the route. The olikc at Canandaigua was finally dis covered to be that at which the thefts ■were commiitetl by means I’urnishetl by the thief himself. A leiler was despatch- etl from iJullalo, direcied to a gentleman in Albany, containing a considerable sum of money. W’hen the mail reached Al bany, it contained, instead of the letter containing the money, one addressed to a person unknown, containing two news papers, the -sex Kegister. On appli cation to the etliior of the Register, it as asceriainetl ihat those papers had been sent to Canantlaigua, and on aj)p!ication to the person to w hom they hatl been di rected, it was found tliat he luul not for some time taken iliem from the oilice.

From our corrcspt'ndoiUs of the Uni ted States Oazeiie, we learM that a per son emplt)yed as a runnei’ in the United Slates iiatik, at I’hiladelphia, wasdetect- etl last week in tlefrauding that institu tion to the amount of two thousand tlol- lai's. His measures were taken so badly that the money was in two one thousand tlollar notes, of Mr. (Jirartl’s issuing, i'hose he had passed, were soon discov ered at the counter of one of the city banks, where they were brought to be changed or deposited by jjersotis who had received them witliout suspicion of the manner in which they had been obtainetl. The account given by the defaulter, of his manner of obtaining the money, was ihat he found it upon the floor of the lianking Hall. We learn that the un- haj)py man is now in prison, lo await his tnal. I'he crime of defrauding the Uni ted States Bank is felony by a special statute. Uall. Pal. lJAun.\RnT;s.—A shocking instance of inhumanity is related in the Provi dence Jtiurnal of 'riuirsday, on the au thority of a correspondent at New-l’ed- ford. On Friday nighl last, a house in Dartmouth, Ms. was consumed by lire, the work of inccntliaries. It was te nanted hy a man of the name of Dliii;;iy, u ho was with liis wife at Taunton at- temlin^a criminal liroseeution, aj:;ainst one lirigj^s, for a violent assault upon his house some time preceding. And il is belicveil the associates oi Brig^'?, by way of cxiiressiiit^ their resentment, hatl surrounthMl the house with shav- ing, and set fire to them. There were three j)er.sons in the house, at the time, two of them esca’ietl, aiul an aged man of the name of Het'don, was consumed wilh the liousc. The doors anti win dows Averc matio fast Ijy the incendia ries before they set fire lo the com bus- tihle matei'ials with which the house was surrounded. Tiie hones of the sullerer were disf;overcd among the rubbish in the morning. A.most stirprising and dreadfu! occur rence lately took place in one of the i)i o- vinces of France. A counterfeiter wdio had been condemned to be htaii;, made liis escape on the way to the gallows, anti took refuge in an hospital.—After some search he was fountl, as Mas thought, tlis- guised. He was carrietl oft’uttering not a syllable, but gesticulaiiiig veheniciitly, anti executed. It u as short ;y afterwartls tliscovered that the ofl'ict;rs hatl htnig a deaf and dumb brother ol the convict, who had resjdetl long in the hospital. The real criminal was .recoinmended to the royul clemency. TATIilCK Ml J.1,0V. 'I'lie most remarkalde person ever con fined in the Jail at ('onturil, Ms. is one Patrick Mulloy, an Itishman. — He has been confined in close jail more than twen- ' lie was arrested in Char lestown for murder, commiitetl to Cam bridge jail, brought here fur tnal, and ordered by the Supreme Juillcial Court, to be rem.uulcd again to prison on ihe plea ot insanit).

He never willingly changes his apparel or shaves himself, consetpieiilly the jail-keepei- semi-annually, strips, washes and shaves him by force, and places on him tleau clothing. During this operation, las^ year, he made an attempt lo assassinate ihe juil-keeper with a chisel w hich he had concealed for that purpose in his bed. Fortunately his deaiJly aim was wardetl off; ihe chisel, however, entered his ear and nearly stunned him, but his assis. lants being near, rescued him and rcsior- ed order.

N;:nv Oki.kans, aimiii. 13.—In conse quence of the depreciation in the price uL' Cotton, arising principally from ihe tjuaii lily produced, the planters in (leo. Jk. Cur. are beginning to exert themselves iofiu(^ some other staple on which to employ their hands and laborers. The mulberry- tree and the vine have presented them selves first as objects which will belike!’/ lo reward their industry. Silk, in no in- considerable quantities, is already pro. duced in some parts of the United Stales, and lhal nol in climates or from soils so congenial to the silkworm as might bo found in the Southern Slates. If com pelled by necessity, we doubt not ihatthcs planters in the (lotion region would red der the cultivation of the mulberry an ea sy and profitable substitute for the articio lo which they now almost exclusively de vote their attention. There is still less doubt respecting the vine. It is a plant which may be natura- lisetl in almost any soil, and may be made to flourish in almost any climate. U ii believed by those who are well acquaint ed with its nature, and this opinion is iu fact corroborated in some degree by ac- iiial experiment, that many parts of tlio Middle and Southern Stales are as well adapted lo its growth as any part of Eu rope. Influenced by these views, several w'orihy planters in Georgia and South Carolina have comnjenced the planting of vines on a large scale. W'e have no doubt that they will be ultimately suc cessful, although the want of skill and experience may at first interpose difficul ties and impediments which w ill not l)c readily surmounted. I'he profits to be derived from a vineyard in successful op eration, woultl be immense.
